If they actually were issuing this fine because of violations of the DSA they wouldn't be afraid of retaliation from the US. Just read that bullshit quote about what a blue checkbox on a profile means or not means...

What makes you believe that? The current US administration doesn't care about laws in their own country, why would they care about laws in other countries?

This is the retaliation. We made the first moves. The White House’s contempt for Europe has been laid bare—trying not to anger Trump, at this point, would be superfluous.

When you say the White House’s contempt do you mean when they decided to stop spending money on Ukraine or…?

I’m European and I couldn’t care less about blue checkmarks and I don’t want social networks censoring people. After all, every time the commission has publicly clashed with Musk it has been because the commission wanted more censorship and Musk doesn’t care. On what side should I be?

Yes blue checkmark is also political decision.
